The Reasoning Behind Website Care Plans

Once you’re signed up to an i4design care plan you’ll never need to worry about the techie stuff again.

Websites are no longer a “set and forget” part of your business. As technology evolves, website software is constantly being updated to make it more secure, faster and more visible to search engines. WordPress is a powerful and reliable platform, but it’s not immune to technical problems. From time to time, poor compatibility between themes and plugins, and miscellaneous errors can cause problems. Staying on top of these issues is critical to keeping your site safe and running at full speed.

Your Website is Critical to your Business

Your website generates leads, customers and revenue. It’s a channel through which customers, suppliers, potential new staff, and partners will find you and engage with you. It’s fundamental to the success of your business and you want peace of mind that it will be available at all times, without interruption.

Website redesign is no longer an update “every few years” opportunity. As your 24/7 salesperson, you need to constantly be making updates and improvements to your website (or have me do it for you by signing up to the Premium Care Plan). This is commonly referred to as growth-driven design in the digital marketing space.

All Software is Vulnerable

All software needs updating, including the software that powers your website. Every day more and more websites are getting hacked and attacked, including the big players like Twitter and Facebook, as well as millions of small businesses. It’s the nature of the world we live in and unfortunately websites are an easy target.

Do it Yourself?

Keeping your website up to date, backed up and secure can be time consuming and a little tedious. It takes you away from what you should be doing, which is building relationships with your customers, staff and partners. The technology continues to evolve and, unless you’re in the know, it can be difficult to keep abreast of all the trends and developments.

Generic Help
